Glory to Hong Kong

Glory to Hong Kong

a wonderful song

banned for listening to

by you know who

sitting on his earthly throne

like a devious gnome

while the 14 who've been in jail

dreaming of their Holy Grail

are being railroaded by a kangaroo court

storming the people's fort

of freedom and democracy:

what has happened to compassion or mercy?

having a voice?

freedom of choice?

Glory to Hong Kong

a wonderful song

which I hum

while I strum

remembering the bravery of the street bands

holding hands

in the face of police brutality.

is this the ultimate finality?

or will the human heart

beat again with a fresh start

and of course it will, with the song

Glory to Hong Kong!!
